Would you like to know about string theory?

Years back, I purchased Brian's Book about String Theory. Most won't be able to discuss it, but to help you out if you think about it, watch him explain it to you. After this, let the forum know if he persuaded you?

Can you? I could not follow Jim Parsons as Dr. Sheldon Cooper on it.

I have yet to finish Greene's Book. Greene was once talking a lot about String Theory.

There's not just one string theory, there are many.

The most popular one seems to revolve around the Calabi-Yau construction, but there are other topologies that will work.

Also in the game are discrete theories, mostly at the Planck scale. I like some of these, especially the ones based on information. The idea is a "bit" is an exchange of information - if there is no exchange then the result is what appears "to us" to be entanglement.

Calabi-Yau has a problem now that entanglement and gravity have been shown to be empirically orthogonal. But I'm not an expert, maybe someone can show us how it might work.
